Warning: listening to and/or speaking
the word "hope" may be toxic
to your life and/or to your relationships.
Do you have hope?
I don't hope so.
We are trained to think hope is positive.
We are trained to think hope is helpful.
We want to be hopeful.
Yet, at its source,
hope contains the seeds of betrayal and/or blindness.
At its source,
hope is a resistance to embracing the risk that life is.
At its source,
hope is a Pollyanna form of "expectation" (another toxic word).
Let's look at an example.
"I hope I pass the test this time."
What does this really mean?
Does it mean,
"If I don't pass the test, then something is wrong"?
Does it mean,
"By hoping maybe it will somehow be given to me"?
Does it mean,
"I don't want to face the fear associated
with the risk of not passing the test,
so, by hoping, I will try to avoid feeling that fear"?
Does it mean,
"By hoping I will relieve myself
of the necessity to really study for this test"?
Does it mean,
"By saying that I hope,
I hope others will think I'm a good person"?
Does it mean,
"By hoping I will avoid the risk
of taking a stand and creating a firm intention
that I will pass this test"?
Very often, in hoping, we set ourselves up
for betrayal and disempowerment,
should our hopes not come true.
If you examine closely the way you or others use the word "hope,"
you will see that it is almost always an avoidance,
an avoidance of feeling some fear, a resistance to fear.
Sometimes hope means something else,
which can be much more clearly expressed
without the word hope.
Maybe, in hoping, we are saying,
"I intend for this to happen
and I'm in action to make it happen" or
"I intend for this to happen
and I will take no more action to make it happen" or
"I pray to God that this will happen
and I will accept God's choice as the best" or
"I am open to the miracle that this will happen
and whatever happens will be a gift."
These ways of hoping do not contain
the seeds of betrayal and disempowerment.
Do you live your life in hope?
How much hoping do you do?
What might be the choices of courage
to let go of hope, stepping instead
into intention, action, and miracles?
